Haha, newbies

My youth pull from last week was an inadequate keeper, What do I excpect to get for him? Maybe $5K. What do I get? $36k. Hahahaha.

[McSweeny]

i'm hoping for something similar with my passable keeper i listed at 100,000

Life is sweet sometimes eh? :)

[GoldenEagle]

Yea, and believe me, I need the money. I am actually turning a prfot this week.

My first ever decent pull, an inad 21 year old keeper. I list him for 5k, figuring it'll cover the cost of pulling him and listing him. Well, then I decide I want to sell my older inad keeper, both had about the same assessed value. So, I put in a 40k bid on my own keeper, taking away the mother costs, I figure it'll cost me about 2 grand in the wash. Log on today, and someone outbid me for him, buying him from me for 41k. Good Times.

I saw him on the list. He should bump to passable keeping with a week of goaltending training and then he could be sold for 100k. Not a bad way of making 50k or so.

If an inad keeper at passable form is assessed at $140,000 US -- then YOU'RE the noob because he'd be worth 30-40K easily. :p

I disagree, not at age 19.

Easily at age 19, although 140k might take 2 weeks instead of 1. Heck, I even take 22, 23 yo's and daytrain them for a week. Made me over 150 thousand last 2 weeks.

Sigh...you have much to learn.

I would agree with BishopMVP. I once pulled an inadequate keeper who was worth 144K and was 21 year old. I trained him for a week and he popped to passable after only that one week...

OK, OK, I'll try to be a little more helpful instead of so curmudgeonly.

DYK - Keepers rarely pull from your youth squad at 17 and can be as old as 20, ergo 19 is considered young and very trainable.

DYK - Keepers in passable form pop to passable right around $150,000 (give or take a few k).

Therefore a 19-yo keeper about to pop to passable is really worth considerably more than your run of the mill 24-28yo inad keeper.

So while you think the buyer is an idiot noob (and still may be) -- it's just as likely (s)he is a vet daytrainer of keepers who knows exactly what they're doing.

Well, I didnt have any keeper trainers around the club. Im continuing to pull keepers to try to lessen my finiancial situation. I may hire some and does some keeper training if I make another pull like that. However, that would set back defensive training, which is the long term plan.

I don't think anyone is questioning your long term plan or whether or not selling the kid was a good or bad move. I think the point was more that, before laughing at someone and considering them a stupid newbie for their "mistake", perhaps consider the possibilities that it wasn't at all a mistake but a thought out plan. And thank your lucky star that you got 30 000 more than you'd plan on, regardless of whatever else may come. And, heck, if or when that keeper pops and gets sold, you're getting more money. Can't beat free money.

Besides, all of us have been newbies before and a number of us (myself prominently included) have made those n00b mistakes.
